The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Free natural parking in the heart of Angers within Balzac Park. Discreet access via Rue Marie Durand (difficult to locate due to recent works). Grassy terrain under trees, very quiet despite city center proximity. Tram station 150 m away for downtown access. 2.10 m height barrier restricts larger vehicles. Minimal services. Ideal for hiking and castle visits.
